No one is more loved or hated than Jesus. Nearly two-thousand years ago, Jesus was born in a small, rural town. His birth was not extravagant. In fact, it was as obscure as it could have been. Despite such a peculiar beginning, for the past two millennia Jesus has captured the attention of artists, philosophers, the religious and irreligious to become the most famous person to ever live. Although he’s been portrayed by artists, depicted in literary works, described by pop culture, and defined by the religious, in many ways Jesus identity remains mysterious and ethereal. So then, who is Jesus? And if he were here, how would he define himself? Join us on Sunday, February 15 as we begin a seven week quest to discover who Jesus is.

Jesus entered humanity claiming to be the light of the world. Not only does this mean that this world is dark; it means that He can actually shed light on us. But what exactly did Jesus promise to show us?

Christianity’s polarizing effect is not because of its ethics, morality, positions on homosexuality, marriage, or politics. The reason for such provocation lies in the fact that at the center of Christianity stands Jesus, and Jesus is the most provocative, controversial individual to ever don human flesh.

People suffer from an epidemic of dissatisfaction. Everything our culture tells us to chase after only ever leaves us feeling empty and wanting more. But if what we chase after doesn’t satisfy us, then why should we keep chasing it? Is there anything more to life? Is there anything that actually satisfies?

Sheep are in constant need of a shepherd to find them when they get lost, bring them back home, and care for them. So why does the Bible refer to people and sheep and what did Jesus mean when He called Himself the Good Shepherd?

Everyone is striving toward something. Maybe it’s a career. Perhaps it’s social standing. Whatever the case may be, Jesus is welcoming people to rest from striving in order to find their true identity in him.
